Give me all the steps to make a public minecraft server? - 1

I really want to make a public minecraft bukkit server. What are the stepps? I know i need to set up port forwarding and all that and that it costs and needs donations ect. Can somebody give me a rundown on how to do it? And do i need to learn coding? P.s i want to make it a cracked server how do i make it cracked?

If you have a real version, then you should be able to download basic server software from the main Minecraft site. Here is the link to the downloads page:
http://www.minecraft.net/...wnload.jsp
on that page are instructions on how to set up the server, but basically all you need to do is download the Minecraft_Server.exe file second from the bottom. Once this is downloaded, run it and it should have a window pop up with a graph or two and some text. You will get some errors the first time running the program, and it will create some new files. This is expected. All you need now is to port forward. This is probably to complicated to explain with text, so ill just recommend looking up a youtube video or two on port forwarding a minecraft server. After you successfully have port forwarded, then you should be able to sign onto your server. The IP you need will be displayed in the window that comes up when you run the Minecraft_Server.exe file. You can also find your ip at findmyip.com hope this helped.

Also, you can't make a "Cracked" server. The last I checked they patched cracked accounts once they made the new launcher
